About this map

Wolfeboro sits at the nexus of New Hampshire's lake country, positioned between the eastern shores of Lake Winnipesaukee and the waters of Lake Wentworth. The landscape is defined by its complex shorelines, featuring Wolfeboro Neck and prominent islands like Stamp Act Island and Barndoor Island. This 1987 edition shows the region's character as a established recreational and residential destination, with the Golf Course and Wentworth State Park punctuating the wooded hills.

Evidence of the area's agricultural and industrial history remains visible in the place names, from Poor Farm Hill to the clusters at Wolfeboro Falls and South Wolfeboro. To the south, the terrain rises toward Mt Long Stack and Derby Mtn, overlooking Merrymeeting Lake. The map captures the transportation network of the late 20th century, including Route 28 and the established Boat Route navigating the bays.
